First Baptist Church California, MO

Thank you for visiting our website! I was called to ministry when I was 30 years old. I have served at 3 different churches since that calling. I also managed a Chick-fil-A for 25 years before moving to Missouri. I have been married to my wonderful wife, Allison, since 2014. We have 3 children; Lillie, Eleanor and Levi. In my spare time, I love to read and spend time with my family.  If you need me for anything, I'd love to help you and pray for you! 

If you’re in middle school or high school or if you’re part of a family (that’s everyone!), I’m your guy. I have served in ministry for more than 20 years, mostly with youth and college students. Before FBC, I directed collegiate Disaster Relief for the Missouri Baptist Convention. I’ve been married to my bride for more than 25 years (we were just babies when we got married) and we have 3 kids: Hannah, Lydia, and Gideon. If I’m not at the church, you can probably find me working on a car or a project at home or cheering the Pintos to victory.

Welcome to the music side of things! I am the worship leader for both services at our church. When I'm not singing, planning, or directing, you will most likely find me chasing 3 young boys around. My husband, Jason Borghardt, and I have been married since 2007 and have 3 boys; Zaiden, Zander, and Uziah. We enjoy playing on our farm with our cows, pigs, and chickens and taking "buggy" rides through the fields. When I'm not with family or at work you will find me spending one on one time with my friends over a hot cup of coffee!
